Thank you Inaki for the direction,

This is the interesting part :

 --> log file -- this can be directed to /dev/null
 --> There are ways to stop the writing to the log file and pgstat.stat, but pg_clog cannot be turned off.

Sorry for my questions but I'm a newbie postgresql user.

Real data are only in pgsql/data/base ?
Does postmaster open these files in read-write mode ?

What is defined as "log file" is in pgsql/data/pg_xlog ?
Here I have the biggest files and if these ones are only logs I could turning off them.
Please, can you give me any direction how to do it, or how to redirect them to /dev/null ?

I don't care about turning off pc_clog, can put it in ramdisk.

Thanks

Lucio
